We Set the Pace

We Set The Pace is an organization that encourages youth to use their passion, discover their purpose, and use that knowledge to prepare for the future. Started in 2018 by Haley Bishop, We Set the Pace will create and carry out several initiatives to help the youth in our communities. The first initiative is Spikes for the Soul.

This initiative seeks to provide student-athletes with the equipment they need to perform to the best of their ability. Therefore, we are seeking new or gently used track and field spikes to donate to middle school student-athletes who are not able to purchase them. We will work with the coaches of each school to make sure we identify and help those in need.

THE GOAL

To donate as many pairs of Track & Field Spikes as possible to Middle Schools in the Fort Mill and Rock Hill Area.
